Top 5 Console Issues We Fix in Barrie (And How to Avoid Them)
Barrie gamers, let’s be honest: consoles weren’t built for this much drama. Between HDMI ports…
So your PS5 controller’s acting possessed.
You nudge right… it darts left. You barely touch the stick… your character spins in circles like they just drank four Red Bulls and saw a ghost.
Or maybe it doesn’t turn on at all. No lights, no love, no sign of life. Like your ex after the breakup.
Whatever the issue — joystick drift, stick dead zones, power problems, or weird disconnects — we’ve seen it, fixed it, and rolled our eyes at it more times than we can count.
Yes, you CAN repair a PS5 controller in Barrie. And no, you don’t have to buy a brand new $89 DualSense every time one acts up like a toddler in Walmart.
Ah, drift. The bane of every gamer’s existence.
You didn’t ask your character to crouch walk into a wall for 12 minutes, but here we are.
Blame cheap potentiometers. Or dust. Or tiny invisible gremlins inside your controller. (Probably the first two.)
Here’s what’s going on:
And no, recalibrating it in system settings doesn’t really work. That’s like giving a motivational speech to a toaster and hoping it browns your bagel better.
We don’t just spray it with compressed air and say “good luck.” That’s amateur hour.
At OneUpFix, we desolder the bad analog stick(s) and install brand-new OEM-quality replacements — clean, calibrated, and tested.
✅ Result: Precise control. No drift. No rage-quits. Just buttery-smooth analog movement like Sony meant for it to be.
And if your controller’s guts are extra nasty? We deep-clean it too. You’d be amazed what we find in there. (Chip crumbs. Cat fur. Unspoken trauma.)
Push the PS button. Nothing.
Plug it in. Still nothing.
Try a second cable. Beg. Plead. Sacrifice a goat. Nothing.
Here’s what could be wrong:
We diagnose fast, fix even faster.
🪛 Need a new port? We microsolder a fresh one.
🔋 Need a battery? We drop in a legit new cell.
🔥 Fried component? We find it. We swap it. You win.
No guesswork. Just actual repairs, right here in Barrie.
Drift and power get all the attention, but let’s not ignore:
We handle those too. With real parts. Real tools. And real sympathy for your pain.
Because we actually fix these. Most people… don’t.
Here’s what sets us apart:
You don’t want to mail it to Sony and wait 6 weeks just to be told, “it’s user damage.”
You don’t want to buy a new controller every 3 months.
You definitely don’t want to live like this.
Let’s be upfront. Most repairs land between $65–$80, depending on the issue.
